I am 62 and keep getting these red bruises on my arms. It looks like blood under the skin.
I can just bump something and they pop up. They last weeks. If i scratch one they get little red dots all around them.
I have heard this could be from thin skin or sun exposure in previous years. What can I do to toughen the skin
and eliminate this? I take a blood pressure pill and diuretic daily. Thanks. Kathy

I have had large red bruises on my fore arms since my 40's. I am 54 and they are really getting worse. I look pretty young and healty for my age exept for my forarms! My arms can look like a 70 year old sometimes.
I have been in the sun alot in my life. Am I doing something to cause these? Is there something that I can do to improve the skin on my arms?
Thanks,
Sharon
